Kawasaki ? 😏

Did you hear something otherwise? 👀

No.

Steve said on Pulp that his agent and the team worked up a 2 year deal.

ahhhhh, fuck me running. I'm getting my Landons and my Caydens for that matter mixed up. Thanks GrapeMate

You're thinking of Landen Gordon I think

Wrong guy, Gibson came from Rockstar Husky

I would be stunned if Chase leaves Kawi. The new bike is coming and a fresh start with it. His options are limited if he wants to get paid. And, Kawi apparently is paying him lots and probably realizing the old bike simply was not that good for these caliber of riders. Hopefully we see the best version of him in 2027.

Sounds like Kawi is restructuring the team some so I think everything has been true at certain points. He absolutely wanted to leave, had informal talks with other teams (PRMX, Yamaha, HEP/Suz/Tedder maybe), Kawi in the meantime got Malc as insurance and then started to implement changes to satisfy Chase (which take a while to get done in the corporate world) and in that time Chase realized how limited his options are, and that Kawi is actually changing his team, mechanic etc and they have a new bike, so his latest set of data to make a decision on tells...

For Chase to honor the letter and spirit of his contract, to stay on Kawasaki, kick ass in 2027 and 2028, stay healthy and fight for wins every single race, and finish 1st or 2nd in both of his motos at MXoN in 2027/2028, possibly losing a spot only to an American rider.

"Chase Sexton announces he's staying at Kawasaki" Wow, what a headline haha. 22 pages but its all speculation and reaching. Assuming he stays, there will be no announcement - announcing it formally acknowledges and recognizes what is essentially all industry/media driven rumour, noise and scandal. A lot of people drumming up a lot of drama., I'm interested to know from those in here - what is your desired outcome in this situation?

Looks comfortable

That's fair, I don't blame him. He's what, 34? You have to make hay while the sun shines. That Suzuki is probably really good, especially for SX.

He said he didn’t want to test a bike for another year and would rather race something that has a proven setup.

Jett, Hunter, Roczen, Deegan, Sexton, Webb, Prado, Cooper, Hampshire, Coenen, AP, Mookie, Anderson, Marchbanks, Savatgy 8th doesn't sound too bad, assuming he's being paid as an 8th place guy and not as a championship contender
